One flat fee. No percentage of your refund.
You should be able to find out what something costs without booking a call. Here it is.
One fee, for the whole preparation. Not a percentage of your refund, and not a deposit against a larger bill later. If your claim covers ten retroactive years, the fee is still CAD 299.
You can also do all of this yourself, free. The CRA answers Disability Tax Credit questions by phone, and there are non-profits that help at no cost. We've linked them further down this page. If you'd rather not do it alone, that's what we're for.
What's included
- A structured functional assessment. We work through how your impairment actually affects your daily life: how long things take, how often, what help you need, and what a bad day looks like. This is what the CRA assesses. It is not a list of diagnoses.
- A practitioner briefing document. Your situation, organized against the categories the CRA actually uses: walking, feeding, dressing, mental functions, speaking, hearing, vision, life-sustaining therapy, and cumulative effect. Your practitioner uses it to complete Part B accurately, whether they apply online or on paper.
- Guidance on Part A, including whether to name a supporting family member. The Disability Tax Credit is non-refundable, so if you have little or no tax payable it is worth nothing unless a supporting relative is named. This is easy to get wrong and awkward to fix later.
- A printable T2201 package if your practitioner prefers paper.
- Support until it's submitted. Questions, revisions after your practitioner's feedback, and help if something stalls.
What's not included
- We don't complete Part B. Only a medical practitioner can, and the CRA will not process an application where the applicant completed it themselves. That part is your practitioner's professional judgment and it should be.
- We don't decide whether you qualify. The CRA decides, based on what your practitioner certifies.
- We don't guarantee approval. Anyone who does is telling you something they can't know.
- Your practitioner's fee is separate. You may be able to claim it as a medical expense on line 33099 or 33199.
What other firms charge
There are two pricing models in this market. Most firms charge a percentage of whatever the CRA pays you. A few charge a flat fee. Every figure below is taken from the firm's own published terms, with the link and the date we read it.
The CRA, and free non-profit help
$0
The CRA publishes the full criteria and answers questions by phone. Non-profits provide free, one-to-one help with applications, renewals and appeals.
If this fits your situation, it is a better answer than paying anybody, including us. See the free options.
Us. One flat fee.
CAD 299
A fixed amount, known before you start. It does not grow with your refund and does not change if your claim covers ten retroactive years.
You carry the risk. If your application is refused, you have paid us and received a document rather than an outcome.
Percentage of your refund
23% to 25%
Most firms in this market work this way. You pay nothing unless the application succeeds. They carry the risk of refusal, which is a real benefit.

What a percentage actually costs
The Disability Tax Credit can be claimed retroactively for up to ten years, so a successful application often produces one large payment rather than a small annual one. That is where the difference between the two models shows up.
On a refund of CAD 15,000, a 25% contingency fee is CAD 3,750 before tax. Our fee is CAD 299, whatever the refund turns out to be. Because the credit can be claimed retroactively for up to ten years, a successful application often produces one large payment rather than a small annual saving.
CAD 15,000 and CAD 3,000 are illustrations chosen to show the arithmetic, not estimates of what you would receive. What the CRA pays depends on your age, your province, how many years you are found eligible for, and your tax situation. We cannot tell you your number, and neither can anyone else before a determination.
The free options, in full
These are real, and we would rather you knew about them. Each one is listed with what it covers and what it asks of you, so you can decide what your own time and energy are worth.
- The CRA, directly The CRA answers Disability Tax Credit questions by phone at 1-800-959-8281, and publishes the full eligibility criteria and application steps at no cost. This is the general individual tax enquiries line, not a dedicated DTC line.
- Access DTC (Disability Alliance BC) Free, step-by-step support through Disability Tax Credit applications, renewals, denials and appeals. They also run a fund that helps cover the fee a medical practitioner may charge. British Columbia residents. By appointment. A national affiliate, Disability Alliance Canada, also operates.
- Free tax clinics (CVITP) Volunteers file income tax returns at no cost, which is the step where an approved Disability Tax Credit is actually claimed, including adjustments to earlier years. Modest income and a simple tax situation. Volunteers file returns; they do not complete Form T2201.
Questions people actually ask before paying
Why would I pay you when a firm only charges if they win?
Because "only if we win" is not the same as "cheap". A contingency firm that recovers CAD 15,000 for you takes roughly CAD 3,750 of it. The risk they carry is real, and if your claim is refused you pay them nothing, which is a genuine benefit. Our trade is different: you carry the risk of refusal, and in exchange the cost is fixed and known before you start.
My doctor won't complete the form.
This is one of the most common places applications stop, and it is usually about the form rather than about you. There is more than one route through it, including a different type of practitioner in some cases. What to do if your practitioner is hesitant.
I was denied and I don't understand why.
A denial is not the end of it. There are separate routes with different clocks, and most people do not realise they are different. Your options after a denial.
What happens if the CRA reviews my claim later?
The CRA can ask for more information, or reassess a determination after approval. If that happens, the fee you paid us is for work already done and is not refunded. What we will do is help you respond at no additional charge, because a review usually asks for exactly the kind of functional detail the briefing document was built from. Your practitioner certifies the impairment, and the medical record stays between them and you.
Do I have to keep working with you?
No. Everything we produce is yours, in a form you can hand to a practitioner or submit yourself. If you decide partway through that you would rather finish it alone, or take it to one of the free services above, you keep the materials and you do not need our permission.
What we are. We prepare documentation and organize your evidence so your medical practitioner can accurately complete the application. We are not affiliated with the Canada Revenue Agency. We do not determine eligibility, provide medical opinion, or guarantee approval.
